Achievable rates are optimized with respect to the transmitted powers and with respect to the fraction of time/bandwidth allocated to the relay-receive and the relay-transmit phases. Different transmission strategies associated to different complexities at the receivers are considered. For each case we take into account either the synchronous or asynchronous transmission of the terminals, depending on the availability of channel state information (CSI) in transmission from all links. We find that all the cases can be formulated as a unique convex problem, and we compare the achievable rates thus obtained. We finally derive under which conditions the use of two DF relays brings significant gains over the use of one.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121191023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, hard quantized observations based on sign of innovation (SOI) were used to perform optimal distributed filtering involving thus the SOI Kalman filter (KF)/extended KF (EKF) [1]. In this paper, a SOI-particle filter (SOIPF) is derived to enhance the performance of the distributed estimation procedure. On one hand, the use of the particle filter avoids the imperative linearization in the EKF and on the other hand it guarantees a part of optimality for nonlinear/non Gaussian state models. The SOIPF proposed in this paper is applied in the target tracking context. The experimental results obtained for different simulations demonstrate the good tracking ability of the SOIPF compared to the SOIEKF as well as the consistency of the so given trajectory estimate.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116449619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scheme only requires partial channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) in terms of the equivalent channel moduli. This paper deals with the problem of feeding back the CSI from the multiple receivers to the base station (BS) transmitter through limited capacity feedback links. This involves a quantization and a delay that produces errors in the CSIT. In this sense, the proposed scheme in this paper is based on a robust design that takes into account these errors. Additionally, a dynamic bit allocation in the feedback among the users is derived, and combined with differential quantization to minimize the transmit power. It considers both the userspsila sensitivities to the quantization errors and the Doppler frequencies due to the mobility. Simulation results show the benefits from using such schemes.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126355204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their relevance, these two systems have only been simultaneously studied employing finite user population models and considering perfect detection of the active users, which are assumptions only useful in scenarios with low numbers of users and high values of the SNR. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an infinite user population model, valid for scenarios with large numbers of users and finite traffic loads, which allows us to extend the available results on ALOHA MPR protocols to systems that use retransmission diversity (RD). Unlike existing approaches our model includes both the effects of packet decoding errors and the effects of imperfect detection of the active users, which considerably affect the performance of conventional NDMA systems in finite SNR environments. Additionally, the proposed model provides a better approximation to the queuing delay of NDMA protocols than the conventional formula of an M/G/1 queue with vacations. Finally, the proposed algorithm also represents an extension and generalization of contention binary tree algorithms assisted by signal processing tools such as SICTA (successive interference cancellation tree algorithm) and other algorithms assisted by source separation. The benefits of the proposed model are assessed using simulation and analytic results.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132170051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The output SINR provided by a reduced-rank receiver depends on the filter rank and is confined between the SINRs of the single user matched filter (SUMF) and the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receiver. In packet CDMA data networks like HSDPA, the measure of performance is the throughput. Thus, previous results on reduced-rank MMSE receivers SINR cannot be used directly. In this paper, we study the throughput of CDMA data networks using reduced-rank MMSE receivers, automatic retransmission request (ARQ) and packet combining. We derive the expression of the system throughput as the function of the filter rank, the coding rate and the number of retransmissions. We present simulation results to highlight the behavior of the maximum throughput as a function of the filter rank and the coding rate. We then conclude on coding strategies to adopt depending on the signal to noise ratio and the receiver rank in order to maximize the system throughput.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"28 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114047763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
